Talk:DMapEdit/Date

Purpose
This might be a stupid question but what exactly is the purpose of these kind of pages? I don't the get the advantage. Why can't the info be written directly into the main page? --Gregor (talk) 18:23, 17 September 2023 (CDT)
 * Well, the only place I've seen them used outside of the relevant articles is in the big table in "Source port" page. --Nockson (talk) 22:48, 17 September 2023 (CDT)


 * See InfoboxSoftware: "The current version and release date are automatically read from subpages of the software page, /Version and /Date respectively, for ease of updating by non-regulars." And, indeed, the values can be used in multiple places yet always stay in sync. E.g. here. --Xymph (talk) 02:02, 18 September 2023 (CDT)

Well, I guess it's useful enough then. Thanks for the clarification! --Gregor (talk) 23:08, 19 September 2023 (CDT)
